The Fresh Start In An RPG World 10 Chapter 10 - Vampire Queen

— Come closer. — says the queen, making a sign so that we can get closer.

Lucio takes the lead by taking the first step, looking through the corner of his eyes I notice that both are a little strange, probably too nervous. It makes me want to laugh, but safe, it would be disrespectful.

— What do you want? — he says, looking in my direction.

I think I should already know about myself, since I entered the place she's been a.n.a.lyzing me, I feel a certain pressure coming from her, but it wasn't something threatening or something like that, it just seemed like she was facing a higher being.

— I, Lucio Ilie, met a newborn vampire during my last patrol, just as tradition says I became her guardian. — He makes a sign for me. — He has just reached level two and also received his name.

I stand beside Lucio. Chloe was still one step behind.

— Tell me your name. — Ruby addresses me.

— Ioan Ilie. — I answer by bowing.

— The Ilie clan is certainly very lucky. — he says smiling.

After talking to me he turns his attention to Lucio. He sounded a lot and trembled a bit.

— Unfortunately rules are rules, there is nothing you can do. — he says with a sigh.

Again his attention turns to me.

— One step ahead Ioan Ilie.

I do as ordered. She extends her hand towards me, I hear Lucio speaking softly so that I kneel down, I obey.

— I, Scarlet Ruby, by my right as queen, grant you my blessing, from now on work for the good of the kingdom and serve me. — He speaks by rising from his throne.

Hearing his name, I almost end up laughing. I thought his name was Ruby because of his hair, so when I hear his last name I can only imagine something like "Red Red," my ability to hold on to laughter saves me for the second time.

— Thank you, Your Highness. — I answer.

— I expect great things from you. — I hear a male voice beside me.

When you look over there there there was nothing, Lucio, the only man in the place besides me was on the opposite side. I think I'm hearing things.

We left as fast as we entered. Lucio and Chloe were still walking half locked even after leaving the castle.

I went along with Chloe to his house, only the high cla.s.s can be in the n.o.ble area of the Kingdom.

— You will live with me for a while, I live in a house with two other people, I hope it is not a nuisance to you. — She says when we approach the entrance again.

— Of course not, I actually feel like I'm in the way, after all, I've been taught how things work and now it's giving me housing, I could never thank you enough. — I answer.

It may seem like I'm being too modest and a little exaggerated, but that's really how I feel. I must thank these people who help me willingly, they are rare, usually there is always a hidden desire, that is what I learned in my past life, but I do not feel it is the case of Chloe and Lucio.

— You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, this time I'll kill you. — A female voice screamed.

— You can come, you fool! I can defeat you at any time. — A male voice answered in the same tone.

The two voices came from inside the house.

— Are they in it again? — Chloe says running ahead.

Before I go in I can pay a little attention to your house. It was very simple, made of stone, it looked like a big box, even simple it had two floors.

Chloe walks in slamming the door, I follow her, inside, as with Lucio, the house was very tidy, the furniture was good, nothing compares to before, but the house was very tidy, which contrasted a lot with the outside.

We were in the living room, there were two sofas in the center and one person on top of each. On my left a woman, a little lower than Chloe, had dark skin and big black hair. On the other side a man was taller than the girl, but not too tall, his skin was the same color, but his hair was smaller. Both were very beautiful, they would be models easily in my old world.

— Are you fighting again? Can't you be alone without trying to kill yourself? — Chloe screams.

— We decided to end our years-long battle. — says the woman.

— The winner will have Chloe's hand. — completes the man.

Chloe seemed very angry with the two of them shouting those words.

— You can't decide this alone!

— How could you not? Our beauty goes against the laws of nature, so beings can do whatever they want. — The woman speaks by throwing her hair back.

— Exactly. — The man speaks by showing the muscle of the arm.

They were that kind of person.

— If you don't stop right now I will show you who can do what you want. — He says in a threatening tone.

It releases murderous intent, it was the same thing I felt coming from those goblins, but this time much more frightening. The two idiots, however, pretended not to see it, then jumped in each other's direction, it was so fast that my vision couldn't keep up. Chloe had both of them immobilized on the ground.

— As expected of my fiancée. — They both talk at the same time. — Hey, she's mine. — they complete. — Stop copying me!

The two of them started to hit each other even though Chloe was holding them on the floor, they seemed to be in pain, but they were happy with her on top of them, her eyes almost glowed with joy. I must stay away from them, m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.ts and narcissists.

— I apologize for that, these are my roommates. — says Chloe.

She was sitting on the couch with one of them on each side, I was on the other.

— My name is Wallace Charpentier. — says the Man.

— I'm Moura Charpentier. — says the woman.

The two were almost identical, I was always curious, so I decided to play a little.

— Which person do you love the most? — I ask.

— Chloe! — they answer together.

It worked out, I ended up getting a little excited, let's do one more.

— Who do you hate the most? — I ask.

— Lucio! — answered once more together.

By their looks they must have a difficult relations.h.i.+p with Lucio, that made me interested.

— Why?

— Because Chloe likes him! — They scream.

At that moment she hits both their heads at the same time. Her face blushes as she looks towards me.

— I want absolute silence about this. — he says in a threatening tone.

— Yes, ma'am. — I answer almost by saluting.

It seemed the ideal situation to make this joke, but I prefer not to take such a risk.

With this everyone went to the rooms, the house had two, which were divided between men and women, so it was together with Wallace. It was a bunk bed and I was upstairs. He seemed to accept it very well, which generated a bit of strangeness, seeing that he fought so much with his sister for Chloe.

— You're not after Chloe, are you? — He says after a while.

Maybe he thinks I like her.

— I'm not, we're just friends. — I answer.

— Even though you're an original vampire? — says after a while, he seemed afraid to say it.

I think I get it, the original vampires don't usually like the second generation.

— I don't have a problem with it, actually I'm happy to have met it, it helped me a lot, I think it's a great person.

Although the "helped a lot" part is a half-truth.

— Of course she would help him, after all, she is. — She keeps her voice down while yawning.

He seemed to be sleepy, which is true, because right away I could hear her snoring.

Just as I thought, Chloe is the kind of person who helps everyone. Wallace and Moura were probably also helped by her, I find it an honorable but at the same time questionable att.i.tude. People like that tend to get hurt because of others, just like her...

I can't keep thinking about things from so long ago, forgetting is the best option, well, I hope it is.

While I was thinking about several things I end up sleeping, I was told that this race does not need to sleep much, but we still acc.u.mulate fatigue, especially mental fatigue, the easiest way to recover it is by sleeping.

— Hey, wake up. — Somebody speaks next to me.

Opening my eyes I see a roof I don't know, it took me a few seconds to touch myself where I was. I got up from the mattress, Chloe was beside the bed.

— It's time for training. — says

— What training?

— Every novice has a training with the soldiers during the first week, we have to go fast, otherwise you will receive a punishment.

When we heard that we ran to get ready before going, the training camp was close to the castle, so we would have to run a lot to get there on time, when I asked her why she hadn't told me before I got a "Why I forgot". I'm in danger with someone like that to guide me.
